Summary

The Duke of Argyll retained the Laird of Coll's man and eventually gave him the island of Coll.

Warriors were shot-putting at Inveraray Castle. The Duke had to take care of them until he could find someone who would get rid of them. The Laird of Coll's man was passing and stopped to rest. He put the shot and hit the castle wall. The Duke noticed this and retained him as a bodyguard. He eventually gave him the island of Coll.
